Here We Go Again

About 3 1/2 years ago, our daughter had a medical crisis beyond belief. We discovered that her spinal cord was being pinched off by misshaped vertebrate at the base of her neck. She was diagnosed with an extreme case of kyphosis, and underwent two massive surgeries to help correct the problem. Her second surgery was almost 3 years ago exactly on this date, and overall, while it was a long, tough battle in the beginning, the majority of the last 3 years have been trouble free. Thankfully. But, I'm concerned that may be changing. Our daughter really isn't growing a lot, and actually hasn't grown very much over the last 2 years, period. Maybe a little, but definitely not as much as she normally should be. And, today, my wife informed me that our daughter has been having neck pain. That's the first time she's complained of any pain in a really long time. So, I don't know if something has happened, or if this was to be expected. Hannah has been so normal over the last couple of years, something she definitely needed. I pray to God with all of my being that it's nothing serious, but it's in the back of my mind that we may be going down an unwanted path once again.
